Huge congrats on 315K!🎉 Your words about trying more things and prioritizing quantity or quality definitely resonates with me as well :) You do get stuck sometimes really thinking about “quality” so much you don’t even make anything at the end of the day. Also, that Pop-folk idea you’ve mention sounds really cool - you should definitely do it👏🏻
@@RachelHardy Not weird? Not sure about that. 😝 But its the nice and lovely kind of weird. 😃 I think it is positive to be not like the mainstream. But that has sometimes also some difficulties.
Congratulations on 300k! I, too, went to college for music education and didn't enjoy theory. My answer was always, they wrote that because it's what they wanted to hear! Keep up the great work!
Hi Rachel. I am glad to see you full of energy and creative enthusiasm. It inspires those around you too. Thank you. Tell me when you will please us with your next song.
I enjoy your channel, and when I'm writing, I usually have your videos playing in the background. I write fantasy so your choice of music sets the tone for me. Here's to 300k more and onto a million. I personally think you're that good. Best of luck going forward!
Hello Rachel. Sorry it has been so long since I have left a comment on any of your videos, but I just re-watched one in particular that you can just put on repeat and listen to it over and over again. " My Mother Told Me ". Your voice on that particular one has just such a resonating tone that just memorizes the soul. I wish for you much more success and happiness. Just wanted to share that with you...
Rachel always fallow your heart don't worry about what we think. Your voice is so magical no matter what genre of music you do or sing we would listen and like. Cant wait to hear some of your original music. The long hair rocks along with the brown eyes. Congrats on the 300+ Be Safe!
"Quantity over quality" is something I've thought about a ton of times but never done. Even though I don't actually have good enough quality. I'll take that as an advice. Thanks for sharing that. Congrats on you channel, your songs sound great!
Hey Rachel, your song "Jolly Sailor Bold" really touched my soul - this is why I came by here. I listen to your songs often - keeps the algorithm busy ;) I Wish you all the best and keep going! Your songs make youtube a better place in between a lot of BS! Greetings from good ol Germany!
I'm not very big into the music that most people seem to listen to nowadays, and for that reason, I am ever so grateful to have your music as an escape from the rest of the world. Your taste and choices of covers have always been incredible, and I truly cannot express just how much I love and enjoy your work. The second question on my mind was whether or not you'd consider doing some jazz, so hearing your response to that was pretty wild haha! I wish you all the best Rae, and I can't wait to see what the future holds in store!
You are once of the most beautiful girl in this world. Not like physical girl. But for all part of you, like an Artist. I wish you a lot of Love and Power. Peace ♥
It’s a pity that we can’t order your merch from Russia, I really liked it. Matches my eye color. Good luck and prosperity to you. I like your music. I'm looking forward to the Priscilla cover.
Congratulations on 300k subscribers. You have an absolutely incredible voice. Glad to hear you are focussing on your health - we all love your vocal content, but please remember that, ultimately, your physical, mental and vocal heath are more important than viral videos.
Absolutely! It’s been frustrating, because I genuinely do love and enjoy making videos too, so sometimes letting myself rest is really hard for that reason too. I’m always thinking about what I want to do next, what my next goals are, etc etc so learning how to take a step back has been harder than I thought.
@RachelHardy it's a book, movie, and song. The song is done by a band called America and was recorded in 1982 ua-cam.com/video/Enq2pFpBz1s/v-deo.htmlsi=fBVwYWOcDPus4q2j
Congrats on 300K! I appreciate you sharing some deep answers with us, including some of your insecurities. Just remember we love whatever you make, keep going and do whatever your heart leads you to!
I have listened to your covers on and off through the last couple of years, but have been on a binge recently. I really, really enjoy your covers (and of course your voice), and although I pretty much always love the songs you cover (even when I don't know the source material), I hope you will post more of your own work. Pop-folky? Jazz, for example? Yes, please! - Can't wait to hear more from you, and great Q&A by the way. It makes me like your channel, and what you try to do - even more!
Congratulations on 300,000 Rachel much love from me in the Uk 🇬🇧love the merch by the way xx. PS I first discovered your channel when you did a collaboration with Kaiser Cat Cinema
Wow thank you so much for recommending the Forest app, I immediate downloaded it, this seems super helpful! I also really loved to hear about your mindset and productivity. I relate a lot to it actually. The quantity>quality thing is also super interesting. And apparently there has been a research done with photographers, where one group was graded for the amount of photos they made, and the other group was graded based on one amazing picture. It turned out the best pictures where in the quantity group, which I found super fascinating. I guess you don't pressure yourself/overthink too much when focusing on quantity. Anyways, keep up the great work!!!
So glad those pointers resonated Ben! I’d love to do a full video about inspiration and focus someday because I have been so into it lately. I could definitely fill a whole video with that stuff.
I really really really want to hear you do YOUR version of "Song of the Ancients" There's already like 20 versions from the games, but we need a Rachel version.
Glad to be of your first 300k (now 315k) subscribers, Rachel! I'd like to hear you try some pop/folk covers, and I hope you post some originals once you feel confident enough.
The sad face at the end is heartbreaking 💔 😂 Congrats on the milestone, keep being amazing Rachel!! Gollums song sounds incredible too! Also love the forest app! Oh and I need some of that chainmail 🤪
It's always interesting to hear an artist's voice and expression. I had only heard singing before. You are really very lit and I also learn that you are very young. So, lots of songs to come in the next few years. My prediction is that you will reach over a million subscribers. Simply continue what you are already doing very well. I recently discovered you with “Goodbye”, an epic song. With that, Greetings! Armand
I tip that you will be breaking through. You are an amazing singer and I hope you realise the talent you have is amazing. Thanks for giving us all amazing content
eh can't believe youtube waited 4 months to show me this. First congrats on 300k! Definitely keep going after those VA roles if someone offers one up for you. I am trying to get the game in a spot for that, I promise! :) I get the algorithm feeding, definitely put your health first and I hope you feel better. 2025 soon let's goooooo!
Congrats Rachel! I know I've just discovered you recently, but 300K is no joke, that's a big milestone! Also I can happily assist with some Jazz/Funk stuff if you're interested in doing something.👀
Hey! UA-cam recommended me this video on my feed and its really good! Kudos to the work that you're doing 😊 By the way I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them. But I'm not really sure if it is the best time?
Forest is dope! I used to use it all the time. Might start up again. This was a lovely q + a Best of luck with everything. Stoked for your future content, mad intrigued by the thought of your original music 😊 hope the move back to Canada goes well too. And well wishes for your health going forward. Glad you arent going through it as badly anymore. Cheers!
I found a song that I think you should cover. It really fits your sound, but you could go in any direction with it. Modern, more strings, more vocal layers. My Redeemer Is Faithful and True | Fountainview Academy - is the version I'm thinking of.
A bit late to this video but I wouldn’t take the voice acting thing too hard. Sometimes a voice just doesn’t fit what they’re looking for as much as they thought. You do have a very pretty voice, regardless of singing or not.
I think you should do the new song from Rings of Power (even though its sung by a male voice), Golden Leaves in Elvish. I also think the song from Agatha all along would be interesting to see you perform
9:20 little advice if you want to attempt a Gollum voice try to flatten your tongue down to the floor of your mouth with the top of the muscle laying against your teeth. Editing note: This has only worked for me but at the same time I haven’t seen it tested with a female voice, not quite sure how that would turn out. Unrelated my favorite Cover of yours is (If I HAD A HEART RACHEL HARDY COVER)
Grats on 300k! Very proud to be part of this community and watching this channel grow even in my relatively short tenure here as a sub. Thank you for all you do and I'll keep you in my prayers for more doors of opportunities to come your way and make the music you want to make. Your hard work will pay off! P.S. I've always thought your voice would align well with some bluesy rock of sorts! P.P.S... smooth sailing with your move back to Canada!
Thanks A-bomb, I’m so glad and lucky that you’ve been such an active part of this community and I appreciate your support over the years. Can’t wait to make more music!
Thank you for the insights. Your health should always be your top priority. You can't buy one, so keep it safe. :) I hope the current changes have no negative impact (new job, moving, ...)

What do you call a toque / beanie in your country?
Poland toczek/czapka or a hat - kapelusz.

" I like to crochet, let me get my chainmail" is a wild statement lol, congrats on 300k Rachel!!
Chainmailing is basically just heavy metal crocheting anyway 🤘
She's making it sounds like making chainmail armor is the normal sunday afternoon activity lol
@@RachelHardyyou're cover of the Davy Jones theme with Colm Mcguinness was how I was introduced to your music
As a Pole, I can say that we love Poland being mentioned on the internet. So don't worry about some going after you, we appreciated the witcher cover.
Some jazz? Yes please, you have the ultimate jazz singing voice that would really compliment those jazzy sounds!
Pop & folk goes really good in this community. Just do it.
this is the validation i needed
